IYO SKY is heading to WrestleMania 41 as the newly crowned WWE Women’s World Champion after a shocking victory on Monday Night Raw.

IYO SKY Defeats Rhea Ripley for the Gold

On the March 3rd episode of WWE Raw, IYO SKY challenged Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s World Championship in a high-stakes matchup. With Bianca Belair—the 2025 Women’s Elimination Chamber winner—watching from the commentary table, tensions were high.

During the bout, Ripley got into a heated confrontation with Belair at ringside. After an exchange of shoves, the referee intervened, but the distraction proved costly. SKY seized the moment, hitting Over The Moonsault to score the shocking pinfall victory and claim the championship.
